off the needles...the mara shawl

this shawl was love at first site

i printed out & saved the pattern until i found the perfect yarn

which was quince & company chickadee in birds egg

customer service at quince & co is outstanding!

i sent a email to them asking a question about one of their yarns i thought might work

and told her the pattern i was using 

adi (i believe that to be her name) responded quickly

she had looked up the pattern & recommended a more suitable weight 

 add quick shipping & wonderful yarn to excellent customer service

 for a very pleasant knitting experience














pattern: mara shawl

pattern recommendations: see notes on ravelry


yarn: quince & co

while i encountered difficulties with the pattern,

i really like the shawl


anything new on your needles?

  1. I have had the mara on my mind for a long time. Yours looks beautiful. I love that color. I'm curious to read your project notes ... what did you think of the Quince & Co. yarn?

  6. What a gorgeous shawl! That's amazing that someone in customer service would take the time to find the best yarn for your project. You don't get that everywhere. Enjoy your shawl!

  7. I'm still working away on my lovely little Saroyan. I tend to get one leaf per night done. So should be finished in 10 more nights. I have the Mara in my queue on Ravelry. I already have the yarn sitting and waiting for it .,. or rather waiting for ME. :)
